The Justice Department has reassigned key senior officials across multiple divisions as part of a leadership shakeup ahead of the expected confirmation of President Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi.

Among those moved to other positions inside the department is Bruce Swartz, the longtime head of the Justice Department's office of international affairs, which handles extradition matters, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press to discuss personnel moves. The person also said that as many as 20 or so officials had been reassigned.
